H-2+ and H-2- cells of B16 melanoma were established by repeated fluorescence-activated cell sorting. The H-2- line formed no metastasis in untreated C57BL/6 mice, whereas the H-2+ cells showed evidence of metastatic development. This difference was ascribed mainly to the increased susceptibility of H-2- cells to attack by natural effector mechanisms, particularly asialo GM1+ NK cells. After treatment with both anti-asialo GM1 serum and whole body irradiation (400 rad), numerous colonies of H-2- cells formed in the lung, whereas the metastasis was only marginally enhanced by irradiation and moderately by treatment with anti-asialo GM1 serum. With the H-2+ cells, treatment with each modality significantly increased the number of metastatic colonies. Therefore collaboration of asialo GM1+ NK cells and radiosensitive natural effectors seems to be the main mechanism involved in the synergistic effects on defense against H-2- cell metastasis, and to a lesser extent against H-2+ cell metastasis. Irradiation (1000 rad) to the right lung to abrogate the organ-associated defense increased the colonies, particularly in the H-2+ cells. On the other hand, treatment with anti-asialo GM1 serum increased colonization in the early phase of metastasis with H-2- cells and may have abolished asialo GM1+ NK cells capable of recognizing the reduced expression of H-2 antigens and eliminating H-2- cells in the blood-born phase. Natural defense mechanisms probably exert suppressive effects on the metastasis of H-2+ cells, mainly in the organ-associated phase after extravasation.
